NO and nitrosothiols: spatial confinement and free diffusion.

nitric oxide (NO, nitrogen monoxide) affects a multitude of physiological systems. It can react with metal centers, oxygen, and superoxide in tissues. The report from Zhang and Hogg, one of the current articles in focus (Ref. [13][1], see p. L467 in this issue), confirms that one cellular target of
